We have an extremely high ceiling in our garage, wich makes no sense. The house was built in 1999, but apparently no one at the time expected the county to become "affluent" versus continuing to be the far 'burbs, and looking back this is the smallest garage we've had. It's probably a foot or so too short, and 2-3 feet too narrow for midsize/full size vehicles, and we're pretty sure now that a full size SUV is definitely out. And I have to question whether we could get a 5-series or E-series in there (for length) and still get to the door into the house.

Of course, it doesn't help that the HOA requires the trash and recycling not be visible from the street, and doesn't allow privacy fencing...

(And we realize we're in the minority by actually using our garages to store our cars!)
